RE:I am glad that I have caused such a hot and emotional discussion here. First of all, I would like to set one thing straight, I am not an anti-eastern-Ukrainian, and I apologize if my words hurt your feelings. I was only trying to bring up the awareness. I do not hate them I just hate the fact that they are so blind in regard that they do not see the greater picture. Western Ukrainians are not your enemies and have never been. In your message I sense a lot of hatred toward everything Ukrainian, it means only one thing that Russian/Communist propaganda has done an excellent job on you. By no means I am advocating splitting up Ukraine in two pieces because it will not benefit any of us, you are right about that. Before I try to convince you of anything, I would like you to give me more information on why you think that
“samostiynyky” are the ones to blame for destroyed industries in Ukraine.
